Michael Tomasky obviously doesn't know women.
We saw a strong, self-confident guy take some dignified whacks at a posturing girly man who is so vain and self- centered we want to scream "EMPTY SHELL!" every time we are exposed to him.
Kerrry is the epitome of every posturing, people-using boss, professor, teacher, etc., that women have had to put up with 'looking down at them'. "I'll have MY girl call YOUR girl"...
W is the brash, happy, slightly 'bad boy' that everyone wants to know and be with. The fact that he seems to know what he wants, and surrounds himself with experienced people who know the way, is comforting to everyone, not just women.
ROTFL!!! You are so RIGHT ON!!!
